Ada inhaled deeply, the acrid scent of burning debris filling her lungs, a reminder of the fragility of the moment. The city felt like it was holding its breath, waiting for the next inevitable clash. Each breath tasted of tension, war, and the lingering hope that this battle might end the suffering.
